Vbox will not allow ping and/or traceroute type traffic through NAT.  It 
states this somewhere in the docs. This normal to NAT.

I've used both NAT and bridged and have more recently come around to 
believing that bridged is the better of the two. Especially when/if you wish 
to serve content to the outside world. Trying to monkey around with the port 
forwarding rules of the NAT setup is for the birds.
